The Jupiter Guild is a Zoner affiliated group of mercenaries and traders who have chosen to stay independent from every other cooperation and mercenary outfit. Over the years it has grown to become a large and powerful player on the mercenary market and in the transport sector.
History
The Jupiter Guild was created by a group of ex officers of the Liberty Navy prior to the nomad war. They started a small time mercenary outfit that operated in Kusari and the Borderworlds. With second hand ships and small time jobs they grew slowly, but ever so steadily.
The real growth came when the Wildcards Mercenary outfit joined the Jupiter Guild. The numbers almost doubled and they grew more rapidly, getting an increasing number of high paying jobs. The Free Trade Federation, another escorting outfit, joined the group and as such they had aces to high paying escort jobs.
This growth did not go un-noticed to some independent traders and as such an arrangement was quickly made for them to use the tag as long as they supported the guild financially.
(// All really happened before they moved to Discovery, some names where changed to fit into the Discovery RP)
Shortly before the war between Bretonia and the Kusari house erupted we moved our headquarters from Roppongi base in Tokyo orbit to Planet Gran Canaria in Omega 49. This strategic move ensured our neutrality and the security of our operations throughout Sirius.
We were then contacted by the Zoner Council to assist them in the defence of Freeport 11 against nomad assaults. Being successful in this operation we signed a long term contract to assist in the defence of all Zoner bases throughout Sirius against any hostile actions from anyone, anything and or faction/group.
The terms of this contract: Assist any and all Zoner ID'ed vessel in distress Protect and serve all Zoner bases that come under attack and or have a high possibility of attack. Police the no hostilities zone around Zoner bases in times of conflicts to ensure the neutrality of the Zoners.
In return we got: Full operating and basing right on all Zoner bases throughout Sirius as well as the right to call our guild a true Zoner guild.
Members
Our members come from all walks of life and all kinds of backgrounds. Still many Ex-Navy members join our ranks from all 4 major houses. As we have our Headquarters on Planet Gran Canaria a lot of Ex-Zoner patrol pilots have joined our ranks in search for action but we also have a small minority of operatives straight from the Borderworlds.
Science Division
The Jupiterguild sponsors a small crack team of scientists, of whom are tasked with designing new technology for the guild. One of their latest breakthroughs(if not the only) was the Artificial Intelligence module for the heavy support units(aka gunboats). Currently 3 of these units fly under the Jupiter Guild flag.
